Basic Configuration of the Modem

This chapter describes how to perform the basic configuration of your Model DM602 ADSL Modem for your Internet connection.

Accessing the Web Configuration Manager in the Modem

In order to use the browser-based Web Configuration Manager built into the modem, your computer must have a web browser program installed such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator. Because the Configuration Manager uses Java, your Web browser must be Java-enabled and support HTTP uploads. NETGEAR recommends using Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 or Netscape Navigator 4.0 or above. Free browser programs are readily available for Windows, Macintosh, or UNIX/Linux.

To configure the modem for Internet access using your browser:

1.Turn on the modem and wait at least ten seconds for initialization to complete.

If you normally use a login program such as Enternet or WinPOET to access the Internet, do not launch that program.

2.Configure your computer with the static IP address of 192.168.0.2, and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. If you need assistance with this, please refer to “Preparing Your Computer for TCP/IP Networking“ on page 3-1.

3.Launch your web browser, and click your browser’s Stop button.In the Address or Location box of your browser, type http://192.168.0.1 and press ENTER.

A login window opens as shown in Figure 4-1below.
